Andrea really liked painting and wanted to sit and do it all by herself.
Brayden was all about running the outdoor maze and then trying to find one of the miniature houses in the outdoor village that was open. He managed to find one and climb on this ones porch. Becca was never far behind and had just as much fun running around.
This was Brayden's fun spot and loved playing with all the controls.
I think my kids liked the art section so much because we don't get to paint very much at home. This was the perfect place as I didn't have to deal with any of the mess!
The dinosaur dig-kind of dirty/dusty but it didn't deter them from searching....and finding!
This was one of the biggest hits at the museum....I DON'T KNOW WHY, seeing as its not my favorite place in the world. Even Andrea had a cart full and had to go through the check out.
There was a big section for weather at the museum, this was an exhibit that made smoke signals. I thought the exhibit that demonstrated a tornado was pretty neat...of course that one didn't hold the kids attention, as well as one that demonstrated the wind strength of a tornado-which scared my kids.
The bubble maker-I think at one point we had four kids in the middle completely surrounded by a bubble.
I realized that it has been a little bit since my last post. It seems as though things have finally picked up around our household which makes for some fun/fast days unfortunately my evenings lack for motivation and energy. Anyway, Brayden is all about baseball and with the weather finally taking a turn he was able to enjoy a great practice this weekend. We have enjoyed finally getting out and playing at area parks towards the end of the week and the girls have rediscovered our backyard.
Yesterday we headed out on a little road trip to a Children's Museum. I had visited with the older two some years ago and with friends heading out to check it out again we decided to make the drive as well. It was well worth our afternoon. It was so much fun to see all the kids having a good time. We were there for almost four hours and I think the kids could have stayed longer. Brayden was all about sitting in an old airplane cockpit, playing with all the controls and making smoke signals. Becca liked digging for dinosaurs, shopping endlessly in a pretend grocery story and making bubbles. Andrea had just as much fun even for being a little tired she tagged along, running the maze, riding the train and having fun painting. The activities were endless! What a wonderful afternoon-no fighting or complaining just constant requests for our attention which we were more than happy to give.
